Larrakia Country • Darwin

Turn Darwin’s plastic into useful things — together.

A simple community micro‑factory where locals learn, collect, and make with recycled plastic.

Local recycling matters in the NT.

Processing plastic here reduces transport, builds skills, and keeps value in the Territory. We keep it clean, small‑scale and educational.

How it works

Three simple steps anyone can join.

1 · Collect

Set up home/school/business drop points and sort by type.

2 · Shred

Clean, identify ♻︎2/♻︎5, then shred into safe flakes.

3 · Make

Use small open‑source machines to create useful products.

Pick your role.

There’s a place for everyone—makers, teachers, students, tradies and neighbours.
